At about 10:30 on the evening of October 29, 1942 Berryville, AR was struck by an F4 tornado that killed 29 people and injured over 200. 137 buildings were destroyed and damage totaled a half million dollars. The tornado was their 3rd in 32 years.

The only stories I know of are the one set of photos of the Jessie and Obern house is that it is my great aunt and uncle's house.

And of course the best one is that the military photo of all the guys is of my future dad's military platoon. He met my mom who was a high school girl at the time while he was helping with the security in the aftermath of the tornado. They dated and married in March of 1943. The photo is a note from the commander of the platoon to the city of Berryville and a list of all the guys in the photo. My dad is 2nd from the right in the front row.
